    I've never had such great kimchi fried rice. The sauce for the dumplings was great! Always a delicious meal with excellent service.

    We had a fabulous experience at Hojoko! With a few days notice, the manager, Gunner, was able to accommodate our reservation for 4 to a reservation of 6. Our server, Justin, was welcoming and helpful, the turn around time from ordering to being served was quick and the food was DELICIOUS. Great shareable plates. Must try menu items are crispy spare ribs, Karaage fried chicken basket, Hojoko chopped salad, and kimchi fried rice!

    We were warned portions were small even though the food is meant to be shared. They weren't kidding. Service was so so, and it was very hard to hear what our server was asking or saying. Food was not good or high enough quality for the price we paid.

    Pretty good, not great. Several dishes very good, several too salty. Party noise level.

    This event was for four faculty members to congratulate on their recent promotion. The service and ambiance were exactly what they had hoped for!

    Birthday lunch. Restaurant was empty but the service, food & ambience were excellent… we were very happy because we liked the impeccable service & yummy treats in a peaceful quiet environment. Decor is eclectic and modern, they gave us a free birthday dessert too! We will definitely return :)

    Wait staff is attentive and helpful. Super chill and vibey ambiance. Everything on their menu is tasty. We had a great server who gave us a sample of some sake just to be nice!

    Stumbled across this place before a show at the House of Blues. Amazing menu, very well executed - some Japanese, some Peruvian! Great cocktails and service, too.
